Hair Fall For 6 Years. Taking Minoxidil, Finax, Keraglo Men, No Improvement. Suggestions?
Hello Doctor,
I am 31 suffering from hair fall. it started around 6 years back. from the last two years i am continously using minoxidil 5% and recently started finax and keraglo men 1 tab each. although i feel hair fall has stopped to some extent but there is no visible regrowth. is there anything else i can do, like change in minoxidil concentration, or taking some more multi vitamins. My hair also looks dull. will keeping hair short help?. I smoke 5-6 cigrattes a day. pls help.

hi first stop cigratte smoking as it retards the growth of the scalp hair.try to increase concentration of minoxidil to 10%.and finax and biotin supplementation should be used for three months .if still no visible response go for q-sera where u will get visible response within as early as 20 days .if still no response go for hair transplantation

Dear Sir,
I think I will suggest you to stop smoking . Any treatment ig going to take a lot of time at least 6 months to show any benefit .
